Roads? We don’t need no stinkin’ roads. Or badges.

As a posse of vehicles chased Val, Audri and Gerek, they flew their hover vehicle into town. Val asked Gerek, “Since there are no roads, how can I tell where I can fly this thing or not?” Gerek pointed at the dashboard and said, “It tells you. On the dashboard.” Looking at the dashboard as she continued flying them, Val said, “There are so many blinking lights. I have no idea which one you’re talking about.” They then fly their vehicle off a road and down a long set of public stairs. Val asked, “Oh, is it the one flashing red which says, ‘not on a road!'”? Gerek said, “Yes.” Alarmed, Audri said, “This is my stop! I’d like to get off please!”

Hovercar Dealership Customer: “Does this model go off-road?”
Hovercar flies overhead.
Hovercar Dealer: “Yes.”
Technically, it’s only on-road when you land it.
Given the hover engines arent blasting flames, but have cones I must assume its either cold gas, ionized gas, props, or a combination of those, so the worst they can do is bend some grass or makes some people sit a few meters away from where they we standing.
Anti-Grav, aka RepulsorLifts. But, that just gets you Up. Doesn’t get you to go anywhere. Hence the fire out the back for thrust.
Ah, like winter in Montana. Cool, we don’t even get the blinky light thingy. We just got reverse bumps at the edge of the road and the middle. OH and ditches for those folk that can’t drive and should park it awhile, considering their life choice and regretting not bringing a thermos of coffee.
Maybe Gerek should drive? I’m sure he knows more about space-car things.
I like the way Emerson said it, a hundred fifty years before Doc Brown:
“Darest thou now, O Soul, to go where there is no ground for the feet
Nor any path to follow?”
